This hotel is amazing seems like a resort i think is the best one with the price of a hotel and have everything. Views are amazing. Staff is really nice they can book tour for you or drop off taxi. I did the island tour in really recommend it.Restaurant is really good and during evenings there is live music really nice atmosphere. Location close to the place where other bars and restaurants are. I had late flight during evening, did check out at 12 but they offered a room to have shower after enjoying the beach during day.

The property was very clean and well designed, so all rooms looked out onto the beautiful swimming pool. A lot of care and attention is made to the immaculate surrounding gardens, with lustrous colours of the eye catching flowers. It was very welcoming, and comfortable.

    Fantastic Stay at Hotel Riu Cabo Verde – Relaxing, Welcoming...

    Fantastic Stay at Hotel Riu Cabo Verde – Relaxing, Welcoming, and Memorable! 🌴 I recently spent a week at Hotel Riu Cabo Verde and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The location is stunning – right on a beautiful, sandy beach with clear blue waters. Perfect for long walks, swimming, or simply relaxing with a cocktail in hand. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and designed for comfort. My room was spacious, with a lovely balcony and a well-stocked minibar. Housekeeping did a great job keeping everything tidy and fresh. What really stood out was the staff – everyone from reception to the restaurant team was warm, friendly, and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure guests were comfortable and having a good time. The food options were impressive, especially for an all-inclusive resort. The buffet had a great variety with fresh, flavorful dishes, and the à la carte restaurants were a nice change of pace. I particularly enjoyed the Italian and the steakhouse. During the day, there were plenty of activities (shoutout to the fun and energetic entertainment team!), but if you just want to unwind, the two pools and beach loungers offer plenty of space to relax. If I had to note anything, I’d say the buffet can get a bit repetitive after several days, and outdoor seating in the evenings could be a bit more sheltered from the wind. But those are small things in an otherwise excellent stay. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Riu Cabo Verde for anyone looking for a relaxing, sun-filled getaway with great service and a welcoming vibe. I’d definitely return!

    The first thing to say about Santa Maria is that local...

    The first thing to say about Santa Maria is that local people are very friendly and welcoming. Trips are available for motorised vehicles, sea trips and cultural site seeing. During the day Santa Maria is very good for watersports and of course relaxing at the beach. There is always wind which helps with the water sport and doesn't cause sunworshippers any real inconvenience. There is a long stretch of beach which is worth walking, it has numerous beach bars which can be relaxing or lively dependant on where they are along the beach. The evenings are relaxed and mainly consist of dining, dinking, dancing and listening to music. There are numerous bars and restaurants to choose from, both on the main street and further in. There are many shops and a market to look around but I can't say much about this as it's not my thing. What I particularly like about Santa Maria is that it is not over developed, although things are moving along. Santa Maria takes me back to a time when life was far simpler and in my opinion much better. The key thing to remember is that you are in an African country with it's own culture and characteristics, just embrace it!

    •The town centre and beach are lovely, though it is a little bit rough around the outskirts. •If you’re looking for a holiday to sit on your backside and tan it’s for you. There are a few different trips/excursions/activities (Which i highly recommend you do, especially the full day island tour) but not too much. •Be extremely careful of the ATM’s as the foreign currency exchange rate and service charge’s can be a bit much (I’m from UK so might not be as bad for other countries, but I recommend bringing lots of Euro’s with you); all the local shops and services accept Euros and local Escudos in case you run out of Euros •Taxi/Bus prices are extremely reasonable if you fancy exploring the town/island on your own •DO NOT! Under any circumstances drink the tap water (I never), i caught a hellish stomach bug that near bed rid me for 4/5 days. Be careful at some bars/restaurants as some of them use tap water to make their ice too (Which is how i got it) •All of the local bars/restaurants provide brilliant service and extensive menus, i’m vegetarian and it was a bit tricky to find a dish in some places •Portuguese and Kreol is spoken, English too but it can be hard to communicate sometimes •My biggest problem with the town is the street sellers. I get 100% that they’re trying to earn a living but whenever i said i wasn’t interested, and this is the truth about 80% of them offered me Class A/B drugs. Now i was on holiday myself, a young guy on his own so i can imagine they don’t exactly offer these things to couples and pensioners but it honestly put me off walking through the town some days. For reference in case you think i’m being harsh, i did spend a chunk of money in some shops on keepsakes

    Really enjoyed the mix of Santa Maria, some really good restaurants lots of live music, african and european. Beaches nice always windy but needed from 11.00 to 15.00 when very hot, sometimes windy all day so need a long sleeve top in evenings. Not for you if you don’t like dogs, luckily we do!

    Not a lot there few bars restaurants, mainly big resort hotels along the beach. Problem with water on the island generally tourism has clearly expanded quickly we were there 8 years before very few hotels now loads but not enough infrastructure. Our whole week had limited water at the hotel.

    Great beaches, plenty of eateries to suit all budgets.

    Great beaches, plenty of eateries to suit all budgets. If you fancy going for a walk or doing a trip there are things to see and it's not crazy hot and humid. However if you just want to sit and chill then the weather is perfect. Perfect place to recharge. Visited the Blue eye, the mirage, salt mine, shell cemetery but the highlight for me was wading with lemon sharks.
